Chapter 14 – POP3 Client

Introduction

The MultiConnect IP can be configured as a POP3 client to retrieve emails from a POP3 server. The
POP3 client, available in MultiConnect IP, can do the following:
•
List the number of messages and message sizes
•
Retrieve the header information of messages
•
Retrieve the complete email
•
Retrieve the top 'n' lines of a message
•
Delete an email on the server
•
Retrieve the unique email ID listing
Important Notes:
•
This application is applicable only in the non-transparent mode.
•
This application can be used only after the PPP link is UP with an IP Address on the modem
port. (Refer to Chapter 6 Prerequisite Configurations - Physical Link Established Over the Modem
Port for more details)
•
In the event of PPP link DOWN, the POP3 request triggers PPP link establishment.

Setup and Configuration Prerequisites

To fulfill the prerequisites for receiving/retrieving emails from the email server, configure the following
parameters:
•
pop3 server name/ip address
Command: set recv-mail server-name <server-name>
•
pop3 port number
Command: set recv-mail server-port <port-number>
•
pop3 account/user name
Command: set recv-mail mailbox-name <account/user name>
•
pop3 account/user password
Command: set recv-mail mailbox-password <account/user password>
These commands need to be executed only to set the initial configuration. However, they must be
executed whenever a parameter is changed.
Example
Assuming that the POP3 server is 192.168.2.10, POP3 port is 110, account/user name is mtss, and the
account/user password is mtsspass, execute the following commands to configure the MultiConnect IP
to retrieve emails.

OK
set recv-mail server-port 110
OK
set recv-mail mailbox-name mtss
